Happy St. Patrick's Day! Noah had some fun with this crazy hat. He's got good color for St. Patricks day even without all the green with his red hair and blue eyes... Rachel too, but she is not feeling good - her fever hit 105 yesterday, poor baby. She's sporting her green binky though to show her holiday spirit. All she wants to do is snuggle in close and rest. Bless her heart - when she has a fever, she really gets hot. Hope you all have a happy day!
Rachel loves to make any kind of noise she can... and of course, the louder, the better. Happy Girl.
Noah started T-ball practice today. He seemed pretty excited to be participating with all the other little dudes - now if we can just get him to pay attention. Some of these boys are big (almost 6 years old) and have been playing ball for two or three years already. It is amazing to watch some of them. His team is going to be the A's and their colors are green & gold. Noah's number is 4 - self picked. Cute. Rachel of course wanted to be out there playing ball with her brother tonight. It was all I could do to keep her from running the bases with the big boys. She cracks me up. 
What little kid didn't play with Lincoln Logs? I remember playing with these in elementary school when it rained and we couldn't go outside. Noah got these for his birthday and he plays with them everyday. He likes for us to help him build things that are shown in the catalog that came in the can, but he also likes to build things on his own (which makes me smile... I love to see his imagination at work). His favorite thing to build so far is a corral for the two horses and bull that came with the set. I don't remember Lincoln Logs coming with little people and animals (you know... back in the day...) so that is pretty cool.
Noah and Braxton having fun on their bikes last night. I love seeing these little guys play together. They had a busy night riding bikes, making and eating cookies and lots of playing.
We read Dr. Suess's Green Eggs & Ham the other night before bed and coincidentally Noah's class read it the next day and made it out of paper for an art project. He has been fixated on this book ever since and this morning he asked for green eggs and ham for breakfast. He loved it and has let me know that tomorrow morning he wants red eggs and ham. ;)
It's been quite a while since I had the kids pictures made - I think a whole year since I had Noah's taken and Rachel's last ones taken were at 9 months. I was glad to finally get them in a photo together. These were taken at Target in their studio in Maryville, Tennessee. They are really great with the kids there and take great shots. =)
Yes, we turned Rachel loose on the park - and she just loved it! It was her first trip to the park where she could walk well and she wanted to do everything. She slid on the slides, she played on the swings, she climbed the climbers and anything else her little legs could climb onto or carry her toward - she did it. It was cute to watch her as she explored and tested everything out. Noah had a lot of fun showing her what to do and how to play on everything. It was a new thing for him to have her to play with there. We have been having weather in the seventies and we are loving it. Let's hope it stays warm for a while so we can enjoy it! =)
